Chapter 35: Mountaineering and Banditry
Li Qingyuan knew that far away from the places under his control, there would definitely be mountaineering and banditry of some people, and in an era without the support of ism, this kind of mountaineering and banditry might give birth to new warlords.
Therefore, Li Qingyuan must carry out the preventive work at every step of development, so that although this possibility cannot be absolutely avoided, it can indeed be eliminated to the greatest extent, and the military justice department, logistics department, and so on will be introduced in the later stage.
But now in the early stage of entrepreneurship, can not give these people too many constraints, otherwise it will affect the speed of development will be a bit more than worth the loss, I don't know if Fan Wei can survive this winter, if Fan Wei can not hold on, then the Qing army must know that there is a team into the Taishan Mountains, then it is estimated that their life will not be easy.
Li Qingyuan and the three of them rushed to the west, on the way Meng Can wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't help but not ask, seeing Li Qingyuan's gaze became more and more complicated, in his opinion, Li Qingyuan was really insidious, leaving himself and others in Shandong, and he did go to the west to hide, this thing is really not something that a gentleman can do.
But what made Meng Can even more depressed was that now Wu Sanniang listened to Li Qingyuan for everything, and he tried to expose the true face of this hypocrite several times, but Wu Sanniang glared back, and several people walked for three days and returned to the mountain.
This is not a large group of people hiding in the ravine as Meng Can imagined, burrowing into caves like bandits to live in grass nests, and fighting the bitter. On the contrary, everyone had a happy smile on their faces, and most of the dishes on their faces disappeared.
Looking at the training of the soldiers here Meng Can was even more shocked, this seems to be very similar to the Qing Demon set, but it is not the same, now everyone is no longer a simple training queue, in order to increase the soldier's arm strength and make everyone more accurate when holding the gun, Li Qingyuan used a local method, that is, a wooden stick to hang stones.
So Meng Can saw rows and rows of rebels holding wooden sticks hanging from stones, although he didn't know what the use of this was, but being able to train the queue like this was enough to make him admire.
In the blacksmith shop, things were being nailed, Meng Can wanted to go in but was stopped, and unrelated personnel were not allowed to enter, Meng Can, who had a gray nose, muttered: "What's the big deal, isn't it just a broken bird!" Who is rare, as if they have never seen it! ”
But when he came to the shooting training ground in the afternoon, he consciously shut up, although the large army had not yet begun formal shooting training, but no one used a bird gun to release ten shots, one to familiarize himself with the gun, and the other to select a marksman.
Li Qingyuan selected 50 of the best marksmen to start practicing the new guns, these people are the sharpshooters that Li Qingyuan intends to cultivate, and most of the time for guerrilla warfare there is only a chance to release one shot, so in order to seize such an opportunity, it is necessary to train a group of sharpshooters.
This is also to expand the business scope of the Tianli Society in the next step, after all, you can't come to the door to rob every time, which will inevitably make people misunderstand, and feel that the so-called maintenance of Tianli is just a pretext for robbery.
These people are all talented in shooting, and when they are selected, they can achieve good results with a bird gun in 30 meters, and now they can shoot a 100-meter target with a new gun, although there is no guarantee of a red heart, but at least nine times out of ten can hit the target.
Meng Can, who had never seen a sharpshooter who pierced through Yang in a hundred steps, was immediately shocked by these gunners, and then by their guns, now there are only five guns used for training, and everyone shoots five methods each, and then rotates the next one.
After three days, ten new guns will be delivered, and these people will be equipped with priority, and ten guns will roll off the assembly line every three days, and by the middle of next month, the output will be increased to fifteen, and by the end of the month it will be increased to twenty guns in three days.
Because after everyone's efforts these days, some blacksmiths have been persuaded to go up the mountain and join the workshop, and now the new five production teams are in the process of being formed, which is a great achievement for Li Qingyuan.
However, this achievement does result in the rapid consumption of coal, and the iron stock will be depleted within a few months, and buying small quantities from the mine town in small batches is a drop in the bucket for large-scale manufacturing, and sending more people will face greater risks.
And the stockpile of gunpowder is also rapidly depleting, although Li Qingyuan has a plan to teach the mountain people to refine nitrate, but when he wants to obtain sulfur, he still has to find pyrite ore, but these things are very strictly managed by the Qing government.
Li Qingyuan knew that there were only two ways in front of him now, one was to go down the mountain to rob and replenish it through battlefield capture, and the other was to open up his own business channels, which reminded Li Qingyuan of the Huang Laosan father and son who were driven down the mountain by himself.
There is also an iron mine in their hands, Li Qingyuan feels that it is time for him to have a good chat with this Huang Sanye, presumably Huang Sanye will not forget himself, right? After all, the first time we met, I entertained him so warmly.
After Meng Can wandered around the mountain for two or three days, he finally proposed to Li Qingyuan that he wanted to join Wu Sanniang's Tianli Society, this guy still has a bit of a martial arts foundation, although he is a little weaker than Wu Sanniang, but he can indeed take charge of himself, after all, he is the best among Wang Lun's righteous sons.
Li Qingyuan of course welcomed his idea, it just so happened that now the Tianli Council was carried around by Wu Sanniang himself, since he wanted to participate just to disperse the pressure of Wu Sanniang, Li Qingyuan immediately dismantled the Tianli Council into two teams, he was responsible for the operation south of Handan City, and Wu Sanniang was responsible for the north of Handan.
At that time, Meng Can was in a hurry, originally according to his thoughts, he wanted to find a chance to be alone with Wu Sanniang, so that he would have the opportunity to expose Li Qingyuan, but he didn't expect Li Qingyuan to be so insidious, saying that he had joined the Heavenly Council, but he did let the two of them act separately.
In this way, one of them is in the south and the other is in the north, and there are not as many opportunities to meet as there are now, when Meng Can proposed that he wanted to act with Wu Sanniang, Li Qingyuan refused on the grounds that he did not need to concentrate so many people and wasted manpower.
The most annoying thing is that Meng Can went to find Wu Sanniang, Wu Sanniang also felt that what Li Qingyuan said was reasonable, Meng Can was pulled to training first after joining the company, and was tired half to death, you said that Li Qingyuan was playing him, other soldiers also practiced, and after practice, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was indeed improved.
You said that Li Qingyuan didn't play him, this kind of means was put on the table, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring, no matter how you look at it, you think there is a problem, but Wu Sanniang thinks that Li Qingyuan has no problem.
In fact, it's not that Wu Sanniang is stupid, after so many days of contact, Wu Sanniang found that Li Qingyuan is a very simple person, not only talented, but also not arrogant or impatient, and eats like an ordinary soldier, without any specialization, which is very commendable in a world where a big fart official has to put on a shelf, so Wu Sanniang believes that Li Qingyuan is an upright person.
